Changing Face of Death
A Call to Action
The current systems of care for dying persons, the people caring for them, and the bereaved operate in ways that frequently lack sufficient sensitivity to their needs. We describe a new model for dying, death, and loss that adopts a public health approach. Specifically, we describe a deliberative process that resulted in a charter for a public health approach to dying, death, and loss. Modeled after the World Health Organization's 1986 Ottawa Cha…
The Cultural Context of Youth Suicide in Australia
This article considers the impact, in terms of life and death choices, of the economic exclusion of young people in Australia, where suicide is the leading cause of death by injury. In the two decades from 1980 there was a dramatic increase in suicide rates for young males. Research demonstrates a correlation between youth suicide and unemployment but the complex relationship between the two has not been fully investigated. This article explores …
Whatever happened to social class? An examination of the neglect of working class cultures in the sociology of death
This paper explores the development of the sociology of death. It begins by tracing some of the major trends in sociology more generally that have influenced understandings of the social impact of mortality. The question is then raised as to why sociologists of death have hitherto largely failed to research into working-class cultures of death. Following a brief discussion of some of the literature that has considered working-class practices, a n…

Dismantling the boundaries between life and death
This paper explores some of the ways in which the conceptual boundaries between the living and the dead - once assumed to be as stark and solid as the walls around the asylums and prisons - are becoming blurred and are breaking down. It argues that the continuing relationships between bereaved people and their deceased relatives and friends are not new but have been marginalised by the discourses and practices of modernity. There are, however, ne…
Aftermath and the Construction of Victimisation
Aftermath, a self‐help and counselling organisation established by and for the families of serious offenders, defines its members as ‘he other victims of crime’. That is a claim which raises important and interesting questions not only about procedures for establishing moral identity but also about the reach and impact of crime
The Unknown Country
Just live for today’. Living, caring, ageing and dying
There is an assumption in western societies that death in old age is not only ‘natural’ but also ‘easy’. It is often characterised as death which occurs at the end of life with goals complete. By contrast death in youth is a traumatic and untimely end. This paper draws on interviews with people over the age of 75 to explore the nature of attitudes to death in old age. It focuses on the issues raised by elderly people themselves when given the opp…
The Changing Face of Death
The taboo on death is at last breaking down. There is far greater receptivity to informed discussion about death and dying. Dying with dignity is one major issue: euthanasia and the 'natural death mov
